5th Process Safety Management Mentoring Forum
The Mission and Purpose of the Process Safety Management Mentoring (PSM2) Forum at the Global Congress of Process Safety is to provide those new to the field with the basics of Process Safety Management (PSM). This track is aimed at young engineers, professionals new to the field, and those interested in strengthening the fundamentals of PSM. The content of the track is balanced between tutorial material, lessons learned, and panel discussions. The framework for the track relies upon the CCPS’s 20 elements of risk-based process safety. The introductory and basic content of the PSM2 track is complemented by the advanced topics and discussions in the other three symposia of the Global Congress.

- The Day PSM Hit Home: From Young Engineer's Perspective
- Tutorials in Process Safety
- Guidelines for Effective PSM Implementation
- Case Histories
Career in PSM Panel
This interactive panel discussion will bring an invited speaker panel to interact with the attendees and provide lessons from their careers. The career panel discussion will open with one or more accounts of personal recognition of the gravity of PSM.
The Day PSM Hit Home: From the Veteran's Perspective
Experience is often the quickest and most effective way to learn. Many process safety professionals have lived and worked through “learning experiences” that either gave them a quick introduction to PSM or made them realize just how critical a good program is. This session will pass those lessons on to some new in the profession. The 3 invited speakers will be veterans of the GCPS and will present significant historical case studies on major incidents that changed companies and the industry. There will not be a written manuscript requirement. Slides will be uploaded as the extended abstract instead.
The Day PSM Hit Home: From Young Engineer's Perspective
Experience is often the quickest and most effective way to learn. Many process safety professionals have lived and worked through “learning experiences” that either gave them a quick introduction to PSM or made them realize just how critical a good program is. This session will pass those lessons on to some new in the profession. The 3 speakers will be young engineers who will present case studies on how an incident or experience changed their perception of process safety. The focus will be on presenting their personal experience in a meaningful way to the attendees. A written manuscript is preferred but not a requirement.
Tutorials in Process Safety
Tutorials in Process Safety will be consists of 5 sessions. These sessions will be co-sponsored with the LPS, CCPS, and PPSS symposia. The presenters will be a mixture of invited presenters and senior members of the process safety community. The objective of the sessions is to provide basic process safety elements in a tutorial fashion to the attendees. Due to the tutorial nature of the sessions, written manuscripts are encouraged but not required. Slides will be uploaded to supplement the written extended abstract. Examples of topics of interest in include the following:
- LPS Fundamentals – Fires & Explosions, Facility Siting & Consequence Analysis, Dust Combustion, Chemical Reactivity, Pressure Relief, Application of Modeling
- CCPS Fundamentals – Process Safety Culture, Leadership & Followership, Vision 20/20, Human Factors
- PPSS Fundamentals – Practical applications of PSM Principles, Including Mechanical Integrity, LOPA, Risk Analysis and Operating Discipline
Guidelines for Effective PSM Implementation
Successful PSM programs are well integrated into company and plant operations and have support of management and employees at all levels. Papers in this session will focus on strategies to ensure successful implementation of PSM programs.
Case Histories
(GCPS Joint Case Histories Session on Wednesday Afternoon of the conference)
Reviews of process safety incidents provide valuable learning opportunities. This session invites papers to help understand the causes and lessons learned from incidents in the industry with an emphasis on events that have helped define and develop the process safety field over the years.
